Chapter 1253 is a bit of a loss
Zouya Matsui is not a fool, he directly grasps the key to the problem: "I don’t know the proportion of VC’s intellectual property structure in the two systems. Clover and Microsoft account for it respectively. How much?”
“Ha Haha..." Zhou Zhi handed Matsui a piece of sirloin and said, "Why should Mr. Matsui care about this? Our cooperation with Microsoft is not limited to VC and VUC. Our cooperation is even closer on personal computer anti-virus and streaming media players. "
" I also know about the latter. Have you held a joint press conference about Windows Midea Player and Antivirus Pioneer? "Matsui Zuo didn't care: "Aren't these software also developed with VC?"
"Yes." Zhou Zhi nodded. As far as the program itself was concerned, Matsui Zuo was right, but the core of anti-virus software was virus databases, system vulnerability scanning, and automatic loading of online patches that had been developed but could not be implemented in China for the time being.
The core of multimedia players are various encoding and decoding devices.
For these two softwares, programming is not an important thing.
However, there is no need for Zhou Zhi to correct Matsui Zuo: "Indeed, as Mr. Matsui said, in the end it still comes down to the efficient writing mechanism of VC."
"So Zhou Zhi, we still want to Let’s take a look at the intellectual property structure of Clover and Microsoft in VC and see if there is any possibility of in-depth cooperation.”
Although Matsui Zuo. It’s not intentional, but it’s not polite to say it at all. The reason is very simple. There are not many software engineering projects that China can cooperate with island countries. The VC developed by Clover Company that we know now is one, but this There has to be a premise, that is, Clover's intellectual property structure accounts for a larger proportion than Microsoft, so it has the corresponding right to speak. Otherwise, it is better to talk to Microsoft directly.
"Speaking of it, we are at a disadvantage." Zhou Zhi spread his hands and said: "We, Clover, are doing the work. After we are done, we will split the VC's property rights with Microsoft at 30/70, Microsoft at 70%, and we at 30%, that is. It is said that Microsoft has an absolute share of intellectual property rights in VC projects.”
“But Microsoft is not giving in at all, it is eating chicken. The only thing left to us is the intellectual property rights of VUC. We are seven and they are three."
"This exchange..." Jin Chunyi was speechless: "You are indeed at a loss. ?”
If you don’t know the development trend of operating systems in the next few decades, this exchange is really not an ordinary loss.
The reason is very simple. The WINDOWS system is a personal operating system, and the market prospects in the future are extremely broad. Correspondingly, the prospects for the development and application of programs that operate on this system are also extremely broad.
VC, which emerged out of this demand, is a tool created to develop these programs, and its future popularity can be predicted.
In the future, if any software company wants to develop programs running on Windows systems, it will be most convenient to use VC, and the price of this development software must be high. In the foreseeable future, it will definitely give Microsoft Bring substantial intellectual property benefits.
What about VUC? First of all, the UNIX system is not a personal operating system, but a large computer model used by countless people. Its resources are destined to be tilted towards core computing, rather than for the comfort of personal operation.
Secondly, users who use UNIX are relatively high-end, and they are very good at using commands and shortcut keys. For people like Hu Tianyu, for example, the mouse will only "affect the speed of drawing the sword."
For example, to create a new document, the normal operation is to move the mouse to the "File" menu, then select "New" on the pop-up menu, and then select "Blank Document" on the new pop-up menu. Click with the mouse to complete.
Hu Tianyu only needs to press ctrl+o to get it done, so for these users, object-oriented operation control is dispensable. The third is that although the UNIX system itself is not free, GNU is committed to creating a UNIX-like system to share with the world, and this idea has been initially realized.
This is Linux.
Linux is also the recursive abbreviation of LinuxIsNotUniX, but its separate kernel has made the same "mistake" as UNIX. It is not open source and cannot be used directly.
As the performance of computer hardware continues to improve, the PC market continues to expand. The initial mainstream operating systems available for computers are Unix, DOS and MacOS.
However, Unix is expensive and cannot run on PCs; DOS is crude and its source code is strictly kept secret by software manufacturers; MacOS is the same as DOS, but even more outrageous, and can only be used exclusively on Apple computers.
The field of computer science does need a more complete, powerful, cheap and fully open operating system. Therefore, Andrew S. Tanenbaum, an American who was a professor in the Netherlands at the time, wrote an operating system called MINIX in order to teach students about the inner workings of the operating system.
Although MINIX is very good, it is too simple. The biggest advantage is probably that it is open source.
So at that time, computer students all over the world studied the MINIX source code to understand the MINIX operating system running on the computer. The last genius Linus Torvalds, a sophomore at the University of Helsinki in Finland, absorbed the essence of MINIX. Based on this, I wrote my own Linux operating system the year before last, version 0.01.
He removed the core of UNIX, paired it with the GNU suite, and rewrote MINIX into an x86 system suitable for general computers. This perfectly bypassed all intellectual property restrictions and turned it into a fully shareable source. Code operating system and put it on the Internet for everyone to download.
Therefore, the full name of this Linux system should be called GNU/Linux. It is a "Unix-like operating system" that can be used and spread freely. It is a multi-user, multi-tasking, multi-threading and multi-threading operating system that follows POSIX just like UNIX. Multi-CPU operating system.
It supports 32-bit and 64-bit hardware and can run almost all Unix tools, applications and network protocols.
Prostitutes all over the world are cheering, but there is only one problem for Clover Company.
Install a window control interface and develop object-oriented programming tools for people who are accustomed to using resources for free... Are you embarrassed to accept money?
If you don’t charge money and spend so much energy to develop these things, for a company that is in urgent need of growth, apart from burning money for fun and just making contributions to mankind, what other meaning does it have? ?
Matsui Zuo saw this problem, and so did Jin Chunyi. That's why Jin Chunyi thought that the agreement between Clover and Microsoft was actually at a disadvantage.
Zhou Zhi shook his head and smiled bitterly, assuming the posture of a victim: "It is indeed a big loss. There is no way. We started too late and our starting point was too low. If we want to rely on the two giants of Microsoft and IBM, We have no choice but to accept this loss.”
“In this way, people don’t think much of us. Fortunately, we have another advantage, which is the labor cost. Low cost makes cooperation between the two parties possible.”
“And our efforts on this end have also received some rewards on the other end, that is, IBM has opened the X86 system bus design process file browsing authorization. Microsoft has opened the development license for the streaming media interface protocol to us.”
